How do we improve the kicking game?

pretty sloppy all season. Mazza (meat loaf) was clutch against Furd. Seems like his holder and snapper need more work.

Just properly snap it, hold it, kick it.

That’s all you gotta do is practice it over and over till it is second nature.

and visualize/know the angle of the kick throughout the motion without even thinking. He's missed two short FG's where he flat out wasn't lining up right through the motion of the kick.

This season they are who they are. If the long snapper is as good as advertised, that will take care of most of the problem. I also think that Mazza is fine and a better long snapper will take care of his issue. He also should improve, as he matures.

Agree that the snaps are the biggest issue here. Hate to beat on the long snapper, but several of the misses fall on his shoulders.

best way to improve the kicking game is to score TDs and not be close enough in score to need it for the win/tie.

edit: of course that doesn't get rid of the extra point issue, but if you get in the end zone enough, you can afford to miss one now and again.
